Radio = Piracy

You have to read this article. In a ridiculous plan to get more money, the music industry is claiming that AM and FM radio playing music royalty-free is a form of piracy. In fact, a House sub-committee could vote on this Thursday.

Don't the record labels make the music available to radio stations? You can't stand outside of Starbucks, give me a sample of strawberry shortcake and then claim I'm stealing.

Does our legislative have nothing better to do? Didn't they realize how silly this is? I really don't have much to say about this, that's how stupid it is.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood. --Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Self-Reliance"
